re[2]: [rdiff-backup-users] ACLS

[Greg Freemyer]

Dean,

Thanks for the positive news.

One other question.

Is there any way to have the backup be compressed?

I have spent the last couple of hours looking for a Linux Compressed Filesystem 
and I found nothing.

I'm not positive I need compression, but I'm just used to compressing backups.
